Week 10 Update

Poster Dynamic Test

Spent the week figuring out how to simulate the poster rolling out and spinning with her and how to make the simulation of paper believable. The initial idea was to use cloth simulation but rolling out is a problem with cloth and it doesnt behave like paper.

The following is a test of the paper unrolling and seeing whether the non-linear deformers work in creating a believable paper simulation.

Town Flythrough

Prior to the last renders and tweaking in photoshop, plus a few feedbacks from our lecturer, it came to a mutual agreement that neon lights would definately make the scene look a lot more interesting and bring some life into the dull render of the scene. Hence, spent the week also creating all these neon light and figuring out how to animate them with the glow effect in Maya.
